Hope its not too much grief and they get it sorted for you mate! Make sure you give the car a proper checkover (inside and out) when you get it back before the driver leaves.

I'd go 2.0 or 2.1 as well, if you ever sell it it'll be worth more than if you go 2.5 as less people want them. If you putting £££ into the rebuild you might as well get it right
|
#65
|
||||
|
||||
If you go 2.5 get them to de stroke it using a 2ltr crank so in affect it's a 2.35
But it's your money

+1 the torque is nice from a 2.5 for the road but it's not really what you want on track or what people will want on resale.

Well I'm glad she is home, must be nice to see her again but it's a disgrace about your wheels, hope you can get a positive reaction from the AA about it!

It sure does Dave I think they need to re-think there company name lol and on the case to the AA about my wheels need to send them proof of receipt that they were new , before and after photos of the wheels which I have got plenty of then it will be a waiting game for the outcome .

Glad she's back but a pain about the wheels, are they just scratched from the straps? Or actually damaged?
|
#85
|
||||
|
||||
Actual damage on one them looks like it's been kerb , deep scratch marks on another on one of the spokes , chip taken out on another one will be giving them a wash when I get home to see if any other damage to them .

Disgusting service - and gutting about the wheels - I hope they sort it out for you
Did you check mileage before taken and now back - perhaps some little scrote has been taking it for a blast - have heard stories like that before! - hope not though... Ryan

Blimey that's just crap, strap marks/light scratching is difficult to avoid if the driver isn't considerate with padding the wheels but kerbing and chips etc isn't on.
Some of us on here might have photos of your car/wheels pre-damage with German stuff in the background (road signs, other cars etc) if it helps the AA cough up for a refurb? |

Doubt they'd get far, they'd need to drop a new engine in first
